From this page, you can access the rules for playing in DCI-sanctioned tournaments. All players should review two main documents:
- DCI Universal Tournament Rules: includes rules that apply to all DCI-sanctioned games.
- DCI Floor Rules: includes rules that apply to a specific game.
DCI tournament players and judges should also be familiar with the DCI Penalty Guidelines -- this document explains what players and judges should do when things go wrong during a tournament.
DCI members playing in higher-level tournaments should review the Premier Event Invitation Policy for those games.
Magic Online players should follow the tournament rules found in the help files of the Magic Online software, which differ slightly from the tournament rules for physical Magic tournaments.
Access each document by clicking the links below. If the link is grayed out, that document is not currently available in that language and / or format.
